Spring Break, especially in college, is known for consisting of wild, rowdy days on the beach. However, that isn't always the case; now whether that isn't your scene or you just couldn't make it this year, there are quite a few of us who get to enjoy Spring Break from home. Time with your family is great, but sometimes things interrupt that (jobs, siblings' school, etc.). So, here are a couple of things you can do if you find yourself drowning in boredom at home.

Pick up a new hobby.

Over Christmas Break, I taught myself how to knit; now I have something productive I can do while binge-ing Netflix. Maybe you want to learn something new like how to slackline, hand-letter, or longboard, or maybe you want to catch up on your mildly-developed skating or guitar playing skills. Whatever you decide to pick up as your "Spring Break Resolution," make sure you keep doing it. You don't want to have wasted a whole week of your life learning something you'll never do again (or maybe you do, I don't know).

Go to a local park (or road trip to a distant park).

Parks don't always get the credit they deserve. Parks are a beautiful way to get outdoors, and they often serve various purposes. Some parks are for observing, some are for hiking, some are for skating, and some are for ball sports. There is pretty much a park for every kind of person. Also, if you haven't enjoyed the joy of swinging since your childhood, it's just as good as you remember!

Read a non-school book.

Read something that won't stress you out and remind you of deadlines! Read that book you bought in a Christmas sale that's just been collecting dust, or the book your parents gave you for your birthday. Read the Harry Potter Series like you've been saying you would read since you were ten. Re-read World War Z for the fourth time (GUILTY).

Play some card games.

I don't know why solitaire gets such a bad rap; it's easy to play, set-up, pause, and clean-up. It's also pretty cool to be able to show your friends your insane shuffling skills. Learn some games you can share with your friends once you get back to school. UNO is a rediscovered favorite in my friend group.

Binge watch Netflix.

Who am I kidding? Netflix is an unavoidable quality of the modern Spring Break. And why shouldn't it be? You really don't have time to netflix during the school year, and you've been trying to finish Friends since January.

Whatever you decide to do for Spring Break, enjoy yourself. Be able to tell your friends that you had an amazing break even without going bungee jumping. Maybe Spring Break will be the time you learn a life-long skill/hobby that isn't analyzing functions in Calculus.
